About This Watch

Bold and unmistakably 1970s, this Elgin captures the experimental case design era that defined post-space-age watchmaking. Its faceted geometric case, part cushion, part pentagonal, draws directly from the angular styles popularized by Swiss makers like Zodiac and Tissot during the early quartz-age transition. This sculptural look, finished in gold tone with brushed planes and polished chamfers, reflects the optimism and industrial flair of that decade's design language.

The champagne dial is elegantly framed by gold indices and a sharp rectangular day-date window. The bilingual day wheel displays in either English or Spanish, set it once and it remains in your chosen language, a rare and clever mechanical touch. 

Terms: Please review all photos carefully as they are a part of the listing. This is a vintage timepiece. Accuracy, power reserve, and water resistance are not guaranteed. Vintage watches may require periodic service. Performance can vary with wear, temperature, and position.
